RECIPE BACKSTORY

Found among my Internet recipe travels. This became a new hit at my Annual Cookie Party with guests nibbling, nibbling, nibbling until it was quickly gone. Quite addictive (and easy, too) and probably a dangerous item to have around the house at any other time than the holidays. (LAUGH)
